Notify-me button and text
Configure the restock signup action and the labels used throughout the saved list. Display controls the appearance; Alerts controls whether and when a matching email can be sent.
Make restock signup available
- 1
Enable the notify control
In Display → Shopper wishlist, turn on Show “Notify me when back” on out-of-stock variants. Keep the Back in stock switch in Alerts enabled if you intend to send messages for these subscriptions.
- 2
Set a clear label
Enter Notify-me button label, for example Email me when available. It accepts up to 60 characters. The label should explain that the action requests an email rather than adding the item to cart.

Choose Filled button or Text link
A Filled button has background, text, border and hover controls. A Text link has a lighter appearance and can show an optional icon. Use Show icon when that text-link option is visible.

Save and test all relevant places
The notify style applies to product pages, the drawer and the wishlist page. Save Display, select a genuinely sold-out variant and inspect the action in the places you use.
Understand the two switches
| Display notify control | Back in stock alert | Result |
|---|---|---|
| On | On | The signup entry point is visible for eligible unavailable variants and normal restock sending is enabled. |
| Off | On | The normal notify control is hidden; existing subscriptions can still be eligible for sends. |
| On | Off | A visible control does not mean restock email sending is enabled. Review Alerts before going live. |
Edit other wishlist labels
| Where | Fields |
|---|---|
| Wishlist button | Button label and Saved label on text-bearing product controls. |
| Shopper wishlist | Wishlist title, Empty message, empty-state button label and destination. |
| Wishlist text | Add to cart, View product, Remove, Sold out, Price dropped and Load more. |
These are shared merchant-entered labels. Use the wording you want across the widget and keep it short enough for mobile. Leaving a short label empty falls back to the app's default; clearing a field is not a reliable way to hide its action.
Test a wording change
- 1
Preview the correct state
Use Drawer or Full page → With products for item labels, and Empty wishlist for the empty message and shopping action.
- 2
Save and reload
After saving, refresh the storefront page that loaded the widget. Reopening an already-loaded drawer may still show the old configuration until the page reloads.

Check related copy
Changing a notify label does not change the email subject, body or confirmation flow. Open Email to align the message shoppers receive with the promise on the button.
